The client, a businessman in his early 50s, wanted the house of his dreams for himself and his family—his wife and two sons. Apart from the basic functional needs he had two requirements—a full-fledged home theatre and a standalone place for worship and meditation. Since the architect had worked with the client and his sons before, he was given a free hand to do the house.

The stylish 8,000sq ft bungalow stands on an odd- shaped, five-cornered plot but utilises all the corners effectively. The USP of the house is that although its functional aspects have been given priority, all the design features have been seamlessly integrated within. The architect was involved right from the stage of plot selection to the building and designing of the interior spaces including the furniture and lighting, and this explains the cohesiveness of the entire structure.

The project was also featured in the anniversary issue of ‘Design Today’ one of the country’s leading design magazines.
